When I acquired Acro.net in 2007 I intended to use it as my personal blog. Since my business name is Acroplex.com, it made sense to use the short version for personal rants and raves. ‘Acro’ is my forum handle on DNForum.com
The domain Acro.net was miraculously listed for sale on eBay and that’s where I bought it from its owner. The price ended up being less than $200 – a great value for a domain registered in 1997. A year later, this very blog was born.
Today, I received a message from a gentleman that I had just followed on twitter. He reminded me that I bought Acro.net from him a while back and noted that I’ve put it to good use!
Claude Dauman leads Domains 90210 – a team of web developers, marketing consultants and domain name advisors with a large portfolio of generic and highly brandable domain names. Domains 90210 LLC is based in Beverly Hills, California.
I really like Claude’s domain blog for its writing style, content and views about domain names. I’ve added it to my list of daily reads, as it’s updated more often than mine! 😀
Thanks for sharing, had no idea Claude had a blog.
Claude is a class act. I met him last year at the TRAFFIC convention in Vegas. Domain meetups are a great place to network.
